Zhao Yi circulated his cultivation technique to ready himself, then raised his head to stare fixedly at the bold characters of the "Immortal Abode". Instantly, a sword lunged straight toward his eyes, and his mind spun into a wave of dizziness. The former Zhao Yi would surely have closed his eyes and given up. But today, wanting to investigate the strange meridians that had appeared in his body, Zhao Yi was determined to take a gamble; those meridians were undoubtedly connected to the "Immortal Abode". He was driving himself to the brink of death, resolved to succeed or perish.
The sword thrust rapidly toward his eyes, and a tremendous pressure bore down on him, pinning his entire body so he could not even move. The sword qi seeped into his body, driving the Primordial Breath-Absorption Technique into a frenzy. The spiritual energy within his meridians boiled, swelling them with unbearable pain. Grimacing, his whole body turning crimson, Zhao Yi resisted with all his might as the technique spun even more wildly.
At that moment, the strange meridian within his body slowly manifested. "Come-on-out!" Zhao Yi roared, word by word.
